Subject: [Project_owners] Problem with JSLib on trunk (Gecko 1.9.1)
Message-ID: <geltbp$q8g$1@mozdev.mozdev.org>

On trunk the following code doesn't work:

var du = new DirUtils();
var f = new File(du.getPrefsDir());

The second line causes the error:

Error: Cannot convert WrappedNative to function =
NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_CONVERT_WN_TO_FUN

Looking at the properties of File.prototype I get:

Properties for object:
[xpconnect wrapped native prototype]


getAsText: function getAsText() {
    [native code]
}
getAsDataURL: function getAsDataURL() {
    [native code]
}
getAsBinary: function getAsBinary() {
    [native code]
}

This doesn't look like the jslib File() object at all. Looking through
DevMo I see that nsIDOMFile was added in Firefox 3. So it seems we have
a namespace clash.

<https://developer.mozilla.org/En/NsIDOMFile>

Unfortunately the extension I'm trying to update (Cookie Panel) is
orphaned, so I don't know what to do. On the JSLib side I guess you
could rename their File() object to JslibFile() or namespace it to
JsLib.File()

There is a new File global script object now?

Ideally I think jsLib should go in the direction of putting all it's 
objects behind a jslib namespace.

This will however break backwards compatibility and that is something I 
don't want do.

You might need to do this:

  File = null;
  include(jslib_file);

  var f = new File(du.getPrefsDir());

Right here is where the global object is defined:

  
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/src/base/nsDOMClassInfo.cpp#3447

I think it should be called "DOMFile" and *not* "File".

Subject: [Project_owners] Updates to Version Compatibility
Message-ID: <241ab0da0811030730m6a27fb6fgb5bae7e2036dc850@mail.gmail.com>

I just noticed that with the update to 3.0.3 about 1/2 my extensions stopped
working, even though the install.rdf file for all of them has an
"<em:maxVersion>3.0.*</em:maxVersion>" entry.  This is probably discussed
before, but can you point me in the right direction for how to solve this
problem?  Is there an easy way to update compatibility for my extension from
the control panel, or will I have to resubmit the extension with a new RDF
that lists 3.0.<version> specifically, resubmitting with each incremental
upgrade?

Thanks!

Sorry - I should have been more specific.  Is this just a problem with my
install, or are all extension users affected similarly?  Why did all of the
extensions suddenly stop working after update to 3.0.3?  If it is a problem
with the extensions, and not my install, what do I need to do to fix the
.rdf file?

No, there hasn't been any progress here.  Our focus right now has been on 
improving the project setup aspect of Mozdev and then we might come back to 
fixing up how people maintain the projects at Mozdev.

Hi

I want to know what is the best method for naming variables,...

*Please suggest naming for these conditions:*

My Application name: *MyApp*
My current XUL window name: *MyMainXUL*

then what is the best name for these :

What is the best name for main window id :
My choice is  id="*MyApp.MyMainXUL*"
What is the best name for main window title (id for localization)=
My choice is  title="&*MyApp.MyMainXUL.Title*;"
What is the best name for pref in Js file:
pref("*MyApp.MyMainXUL.SomePrefName*", "*PrefValue*");

What is the best name for one element in main xul file (all ??? cases):
<menubar id="???">
  <menu id="???" label="&???;">

-----
<tabbox id="???" >                       //My choice is *
MyApp.MyMainXUL.Tabbox1*
    <tabs>
        <tab label="&???;"/>            //My choice is *MyApp.MyMainXUL.**
Tabbox1.Tab1*
        <tab label="&???;"/>            //My choice is *MyApp.MyMainXUL.**
Tabbox1.Tab2*
    </tabs>
    <tabpanels>
        <tabpanel>
            <textbox id="???" value="&???;"  />     //My choice for id is *
MyApp.MyMainXUL.**Tabbox1.Tab1.Textbox1*
                                                                     //My
choice for value is *MyApp.MyMainXUL.**Tabbox1.Tab1.Textbox1*
        </tabpanel>
        <tabpanel></tabpanel>
    </tabpanels>
</tabbox>


I think these example will show all possible cases, please add some more if
you think they couldn't support all conditions.

Thanks

Hi

Is there any way to align elements in different richlistitems?

<richlistbox>
  <richlistitem>
   <label value="some 1"/>
   <label value="some 2"/>
  </richlistitem>
  <richlistitem>
   <label value="something 1"/>
   <label value="something 2"/>
  </richlistitem>
</richlistbox>

I think I should use grid element, but I cant figure out how to apply it.

I think you can do it with some CSS:
.rows { display: -moz-grid-group; }
.row { display: -moz-grid-line; }
<grid>
  <columns><column/><column/></columns>
  <richlistbox class="rows">
    <richlistitem class="row">
etc.

Hi Neil,

Please see these three examples

#1 ; This one is original grid
<grid>
  <columns >
    <column flex="1"/>
    <column flex="1"/>
  </columns>

  <rows>
    <row>
      <description>1</description>
      <description>2</description>
    </row>
  </rows>
</grid>

#2 ;In this one I replaced row element only and it works like above example
<grid>
  <columns >
    <column flex="1"/>
    <column flex="1"/>
  </columns>

  <rows>
    <box flex="1" style="display:-moz-grid-line;">
      <description>1</description>
      <description>2</description>
    </box>
  </rows>
</grid>

#3 ;In this one I replaced rows element only and it doesnt works :(
<grid>
  <columns >
    <column flex="1"/>
    <column flex="1"/>
  </columns>

  <box flex="1" style="display:-moz-grid-group;">
    <row>
      <description>1</description>
      <description>2</description>
    </row>
  </box>
</grid>

Do you know why ?

Hi,

Personally I cheat from the XUL Periodic table. Saves a lot of frustration
and time :) http://www.hevanet.com/acorbin/xul/top.xul Also see
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_CSS_Extensions for related CSS.
Hope that helps.

Message-ID: <23d9f6b20811110510q74f02b06l8aef1d4095dd0537@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

Is there any function like other built-in functions(onchange, ...) which
fires when user press Enter in a textbox ?

If there is no any default function, is there any why other than keyboard
monitoring to find out when user press on Enter key ?

As richlistitem has to be a direct child of richlistbox, that won't 
actually work.

Sorry, you gave me the right hint though, try
.rows { display: -moz-grid-group; -moz-box-orient: vertical; }
.row { display: -moz-grid-line; -moz-box-orient: horizontal; }

onchange will fire if you change the value then press Enter.

Here are 2 solutions
first one is yours, but It still have problem :( I cant figure out why?

<grid>
 <columns><column flex="1"/><column flex="1"/></columns>
 <richlistbox style="display:-moz-grid-group; -moz-box-orient: vertical;" >
  <richlistitem style="display:-moz-grid-line; -moz-box-orient:
horizontal;">
     <label value="1"/>
     <label value="2"/>
  </richlistitem>
  <richlistitem style="display:-moz-grid-line; -moz-box-orient:
horizontal;">
     <label value="3"/>
     <label value="4"/>
  </richlistitem>
 </richlistbox>
</grid>

This one seems to work but richlistitem is not directly a child !

<richlistbox>
 <grid>
   <columns ><column flex="1"/><column flex="1"/></columns>
   <rows>
     <richlistitem style="display:-moz-grid-line; -moz-box-orient:
horizontal">
       <label value="1"/>
       <label value="2"/>
     </richlistitem>
     <richlistitem style="display:-moz-grid-line; -moz-box-orient:
horizontal">
       <label value="3"/>
       <label value="4"/>
     </richlistitem>
   </rows>
 </grid>
</richlistbox>

Any idea ?

Hi,

If you place the input type="text" in a form element you can use onsubmit?

Hello,
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Instructional Technology at the University of Tennessee. For my dissertation, I am studying why people contribute to Free Open Source Software (F/OSS). I want to know what motivates you to join and contribute to F/OSS. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes and asks for no identifying information. 
Please click on the following link to take the survey. If you are interested in the results of the survey, please send me a message.

http://ubiquity.utk.edu/limesurvey/index.php?sid=82655&lang=en

Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hoda Baytiyeh.

Any Idea :)

Is there any reference to show correct ways for naming variables ?

I remember a mention of such conventions but can't locate them now... may be
MDC or Mozillazine. But what's the concern anyways?

.s are a bad idea for ids because you have to remember to quote them in CSS.

Hi,

I used this css to hide and show my extension icon
#urlbar[a attrible is true] > #MyIcon
{
    visibility: visible !important;
}
#urlbar[a attrible is false] > #MyIcon
{
    display: none !important;
}

now I want to show my extension icon when mouse is over urlbar

#urlbar[a attrible is true] > #MyIcon
{
    visibility: visible !important;
}
#urlbar[a attrible is false] > #MyIcon
{
    display: none !important;
}
*#urlbar[a attrible is false]:hover > #MyIcon
{
    visibility: visible !important;
}*

it doesn't works :(
can anybody fix it ?

display: none beats visibility, so don't mix and match.

I tried moving all of my website to drupal. That would make it easier to
move the source to mercurial. And downloads aren't that frequently
updated...

Subject: [Project_owners] problem with first time extension install (Windows)
Message-ID: <00f401c94607$4d17f1a0$0210a8c0@ECPCorp.local>

I am just learning about Firefox extensions, so I hope this is the appropriate list.  I spent quite a bit of time searching, and this seemed like the best place to start.  Please correct me if I should be posting elsewhere.

I am using Windows and Firefox 3.0.3.

I have managed to build an extension .xpi file which seems to install correctly "by hand."  That is, if, from within Firefox, I do:

  File -> Open File -> <browse to .xpi file>

the installation goes as I hope (after a warning and a Firefox restart, of course).


However, I would like to be able to install "automatically," via the Registry, as documented here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry


The instructions seem very simple, but nothing I have tried has worked.  I should note that I have tried putting the Registry entry under both "Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions" (as instructed on the page), and also under "Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3\extensions" which is the key that is created by the Firefox install.  

I don't know how to go about trouble shooting this.  Can anyone help?

Thank you,
can

Thank you for the blindingly fast reply!

Here are the two registry branches:

------------

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions]
"{e773addc-9ee8-4e6f-bcfe-d23c401a22e2}"="c:\\xpi\\soodo.xpi"


=====


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3]
"GeckoVer"="1.9.0.3"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3\bin]
"PathToExe"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3\extensions]
"Components"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\components"
"Plugins"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\plugins"
"{e773addc-9ee8-4e6f-bcfe-d23c401a22e2}"="c:\\xpi\\soodo.xpi"

--------------------------------------


The first is the one I added to conform with the instructions I read on the mozilla.org page I cited.  The second is the one I tried after the first one did not work.


Also, in these entries, the id is in GUID format (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Install_Manifests#id )   I tried the name at org format first, and resorted to the GUID format only when that did not work.

I get the feeling I must be doing something really stupid, so please let me apologize for that in advance. :)

Okey I got it. The xpi won't do (even I missed that part in the article).
You'll have to point the registry value to the directory where you have
placed the unpacked xpi.

I used the following registry to try installing colorfultabs. I had to
extract the colorfultabs xpi into c:\colorfultabs.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions]
"{0545b830-f0aa-4d7e-8820-50a4629a56fe}"="C:\\colorfultabs"

Thank you so much for the help.  I haven't tried it out yet, but I am sure you are right.  As you point out, the very page I cited explains this.  (However, it still seems odd to me that Firefox won't read in the .xpi in this situation - it does so when using File -> Open...  So obviously the implementation is already built in.)

I feel quite ashamed for having overlooked this detail, and apologize for taking your time.  I usually read more carefully than this.  I can only offer that my oversight is probably caused by lack of sleep and a tight deadline.  I hope I get the chance to return the favor some day.

  Okey I got it. The xpi won't do (even I missed that part in the article). You'll have to point the registry value to the directory where you have placed the unpacked xpi.

  I used the following registry to try installing colorfultabs. I had to extract the colorfultabs xpi into c:\colorfultabs.

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions]
  "{0545b830-f0aa-4d7e-8820-50a4629a56fe}"="C:\\colorfultabs"

Yes, but once you agree to the install it then goes and unpacks it into 
your extensions folder so that it can actually use it.

Please forgive me if I'm missing something, but I don't see the point you 
are making.  What I had in mind was that Firefox could do this very same 
thing when it sees a new .xpi to load in the registry.

Perhaps the Mozilla people see there is some security worry with this 
approach, but I don't see it.  They could add the same warning that is there 
in the File->Open interface.  (Though I'm not certain this is absolutely 
necessary since the Windows Registry can't get modified without user 
approval anyway.) Besides, this is how Java handles .jar files.  In fact, 
since my last response to this thread, I realized that the reason I ran into 
confusion in the first place probably has to do with expectations set from 
using Java.  (This is no excuse for misreading instructions of course, just 
an observation.)


Maybe the root problem here is that I don't fully understand the Mozilla 
vision of the install process.  So if don't mind, I'd like to take a step 
back and ask an even more basic question.


<???>
What is the "best" way to distribute and install Firefox extension from a 
third-party server?  I looked around for this, and the best instructions I 
found were on that "Install from Registry" page I cited.  Can you point me 
to a better source?
</???>


I know that it is possible to distribute a third-party extension through the 
Mozilla site (Tools -> Add Ons...) Maybe some day I'll want to do this.  But 
for now, (a) I don't know how one goes about putting one's extension up on
the Mozilla download site, and (b) even if I did, I probably would still 
want to be able to distribute the extension from a
third-party server.

I also have read that one can distribute an installer that copies files to 
Firefox extensions directory.  In principle, this is
clean and straightforward, but one has to worry about getting registry 
strings right for cases where Firefox was not installed to the default path. 
It seems more desirable to use an install mechanism that is managed entirely 
by Firefox itself.


I actually have a guess about this now that I know about the File->Open... 
install method.  (I am going to give it a try unless someone on this list 
tells me it won't work.)  Maybe all I have to do is get the mime type right 
on the server and then the extension will be installed if the user selects 
"Open" during the download.


Please remember I am new to all this.  I get the feeling that there is some 
overview document that I have failed to find.  If anyone knows of such a 
thing, please feel free to point me to it.

Thanks,
can

If you're packaging your extension as a .xpi file, you can use InstallTrigger [1].

If you're putting your .xpi extensions up on Mozdev you can make use of our 
installation page that already has InstallTrigger setup for you. [2]

I think maybe the confusion here is how an xpi is installed by firefox. 
If so just an overview:
- When firefox installs an xpi(extension) it gets unpaked into the user 
profile ./extensions directory, on windows this is something like 
c:\Documents and  Settings\Admin|\Application 
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXNNNXXN.default\extensions\ExtensionName. 
Firefox does not use the windows registry to find/use extensions in a 
normal scenario as far as I know.
- For firefox you need to install an xpi from a https server or the xpi 
must be signed otherwise the install will fail. These things supposedly 
make extensions safer to install.
- On firefox startup the users extensions directory is scanned for 
extensions and those found get registered/used if the extension is 
compatible.
- The xpinstall docs are hard to follow/find and put together to get a 
good sense of how it all works. It just takes a lot of poking around.

Hope that helps

If you want to install through the registry (take the example of Google
Gears), instead of packing as an xpi, make it a self extracting executable
or a self installing exe which extracts itself, modifies the registry and
asks to restart Firefox.

Hi,

Next to the "New Projects" and "Last Updated" feeds, it would be nice,
if project owners could feed their website/drupal/blog updates to the
mozdev homepage or a subpage, comparable to planet.mozilla.org.
For this purpose I entered enhancement request 20243:
https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20243

If you also think this is a good idea to extend current website
possibilities, or you have other ideas about it, please comment here or
add your thoughts to bug
<https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20243> .

Thanks,

Onno

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/Sidebar

I would strongly discourage this though, it is considered rude. The user 
expects to see the same sidebar content open as when they shutdown 
Firefox. Overwriting that creates a bad user experience.

I've suggested <http://planet.mozdev.org> as the obvious location.

Also I came across this recently:

Subject: [Project_owners] CVS Branching
Message-ID: <607c3f4d0811160450x22d64fc4k14947f48f1accbde@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I need to start with a big overhaul of my extension and I wanted to try the
branhing features of CVS, I know they are not great but probably I will not
use that branch anymore, It is just to have an easy way to see the last
version.
But when I try to branch my src directory I get the following errors:

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs tag" command.
  foxgame: cvs tag: User 'frisco82' cannot access src/chrome
  foxgame: cvs tag: User 'frisco82' cannot access src/chrome/content
  foxgame: cvs tag: User 'frisco82' cannot access src/chrome/locale
  foxgame: cvs tag: User 'frisco82' cannot access src/chrome/skin
  foxgame: cvs tag: User 'frisco82' cannot access src/defaults
  foxgame: cvs [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first!

Please note that I am the main developer I have added files without problem
until today in these directories.

I hope someone can help with this, or tell me if I should forget about
branching on Mozdev.

Best regards

Ramiro Aparicio

Subject: [Project_owners] extension stops working under Firefox 3.0.4 --
	please help
Message-ID: <00b401c94855$fb037e60$0210a8c0@ECPCorp.local>

Many thanks again to all the nice people who helped me with my first 
uninformed question.  I think this one is a little more substantive.

I have written my first "Hello World" Firefox extension.  I had some 
confusion about installing it, but I think I got that straightened out now - 
BUT ONLY under Firefox 3.0.3.  Yesterday, Firefox updated itself without 
giving me any chance to stop it (at least as far as I could tell).  I now 
have version 3.0.4.  I didn't think that would be a big deal until I got 
back to trying to work on my extension.  Now, the exact same extension that 
works under 3.0.3 will not install under 3.0.4.

I have tried two install methods: (a) copy my extension directory to the 
Firefox profile/extensions directory (where Firefox installs), (b) set the 
appropriate Windows Registry key to point to a directory where I have 
unpacked the contents of my .xpi file.  In case (a), Firefox starts and I 
see *nothing* new in the Extensions window.  In case (b), Firefox starts, 
and I see an entry for my extension, but it is whited out and there is a 
message that says, "This extension is not compatible with Firefox 3.0.4."

I have a separate computer that (thank God), is still running 3.0.3, and 
everything still seems to work there.  I tried searching for posts from 
other people who might have encountered this problem and have come up with 
nothing.  Can anyone help?


As a related question, hopefully much easier, can someone please tell me how 
to stop Firefox from updating its version WITHOUT my permission?  I would 
expect at least an OK/Cancel box.


Thanks,
can

you'll have an install.rdf file in your extensio xpi. Search for the string
"maxversion" without quotes. this is the string that decides the
compatibility of your addon with the version of firefox. If you are just
testing you can bump it up to 300. But a valid version can be pulled from

In your extensions install.rdf file change maxVersion to 3.0.4 or 3.0.*
under id ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384 and in your browsers tools

I have just noticed that my other machine has already updated to 3.0.4 
without my noticing.  That means my problem must be something other than a 
Firefox version issue.  Sorry for the false alarm, but I didn't know what 
else to attribute the problem to.

I guess I still have lingering questions - but not quite the same.

(1) Is there anything I can do to trouble shoot the error message?

(2) I would still like to know if I can prevent Firefox from updating 
without my permission.


Thanks again,
can

Several of you replied with advice about "maxVersion" in the .rdf file.  Thank you, I should have mentioned that I checked this before sending my original post.  I have had maxVersion="99" for more than a week now.

As I said, I now have one machine where the extension installs, and one where it does not.  Originally I thought there was a difference in the Firefox version, but I was wrong.  They are both at 3.0.4.

It would be great to know if there is a way to get something more informative than "This extension is not compatible with Firefox 3.0.4."   Otherwise I am just going to wipe everything clean on the non-functioning machine and try again hoping there was some kind of pilot error the first time.

I'd still like to know how I can prevent Firefox automatic updates without permission.

99 is not a valid version and will result in failure.

Check app.update.incompatible.mode, that is probably set on the one

Why is "99" not valid for the maxVersion field?

I believe for personal testing and technically, it is by all means a valid
figure. But I know that won't go well on AMO.

Does it do the refresh no matter what is loaded in the sidebar? Do you
have a site loaded in the sidebar that may be auto-refreshing?

I frequently use branches on Mozdev to do development; what CVS client are you 
using?  Do you know what the command is that is being issued?

I have problems do the branching and merging from Eclipse; I currently have to 
do everything using the cli.

 I don't know it'll exactly work but give a try.

Use a preference variable to identify the first launch of browser and let
say you have initialized it to true for identifying the first launch.
You have to specify about the preference variable in another js file. If you
don't know about it, search it in mozilladev.org site.
In overlay.xul, add this script for run the sidebar toggling function on
browser loading.<script type="application/x-javascript">
<![CDATA[

    window.addEventListener("load", initFun, false);
   function initFun(){

       //Get the preference value
       var prefs = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].
                    getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefService);
prefs = prefs.getBranch("extensions.yourextensionname.");

        var isFirstLaunch = prefs.getCharPref("firstLaunch");

       if(isFirstLaunch ==  true){
          toggleSidebar('idOfYourSidebarOrBroadcaster');
      }

      prefs.setCharPref("firstLaunch", gContextMenu.imageURL);// set
preference to false


 }


]]>
</script>

I didn't test it. But I think it should work.

Hi,

Yup I am using Eclipse as a CVS client, I used to have Tortoise CVS
installed but I will give it a try as soon as possible.
The CVS console says it is using:

cvs tag "/foxgame/Root_version_15" "/foxgame/src"

Do you by chance have an auto-refresh extension installed?

Try loading just a search engine in the sidebar to see if it still refreshes.

Does the main browser window refresh as well?

Post this to my UFAQ at www.ufaq.org and we'll see if someone else can
attack this.

Make sure the extension is enabled in the addons/extensions window and
then go into the specific extension options for various preferences.

What "extension"??

Hi,

If you can describe the application it will help. If you own a webhosting it
will already come with an ftp server.

Hi Shivanand,

I want to implement a ftp server base on Mozilla then use it for
sending/receiving file from my other PC (it is a small home computer).

Firefox is always run on my PC, so it is good idea to implement server on
that.

There is tons of free and robust FTP server on PC, Mac, and Linux. Why create a new one in Mozilla ? A complete waist of time !

Hi Shivanand,

I want to implement a ftp server base on Mozilla then use it for sending/receiving file from my other PC (it is a small home computer).

Firefox is always run on my PC, so it is good idea to implement server on that.

Hi Joe,

You could use PyXPCOM and then create an extension that handles the
loading of the ftp server, re-use an existing Python ftp server would be
relatively straight forward, such as:
http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/

You'd include the pyftpdlib code in your extension, under the "pylib"
directory, then you can use PyDOM to import this code and play with it
directly, or create a Python XPCOM interface that wraps around the
necessary Python methods and is thus exposed to JavaScript.

Cheers,
Todd

Well there is already a FTP /client/ (FireFTP) and a HTTP Server (POW)
written in JS (Firefox extensions). I think it would be just a SMOP to
leverage on these extensions to write a FTP server.

Not if you are on a diet.

You have to create a (developer?) account at https://addons.mozilla.org and
upload your addon.

What control codes are you wanting to send, xterm emulation, like VT100, 
ansi color?

May be related: I've recently setup a VT100 terminal emulation extension 
for Mozilla, to connect to a remote server using SSH, and handle the 
VT100 specific control codes:

Hi Todd

Thanks for response

Yes, I want to send xterm emulation, like VT100 to a component which
can phrase them and show them correctly

I can receive data and control codes correctly but I don't know how to
phrase them and which element I should use for that

Hi again,

I built a sample xul from vt100.js

here is code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
<window id="yourwindow"
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
onload="
	_term_box_element = document.getElementById('term_box');
	_term = new VT100(80, 24, 'term');
	_term.curs_set(true, true, _term_box_element);
	_term.noecho();
	_term.write('some text')
">

<script type="text/javascript">
	var _term_box_element = null;
	var _term = null;
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///..../vt100.js"/>

    <vbox flex="1">
        <hbox id="term_box" flex="1" style="-moz-user-focus: normal;">
            <pre id="term" flex="1" style="margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0
0 0 0; border: medium double rgb(250,0,255)" />
        </hbox>
    </vbox>
	<label value="Put your= XUL here!" onclick=" _term.write('some text 2')"/>
</window>

It doesn't work (some text must show)! can you help to fix it ?

Hi,

I have a asynchronous function which need unknown time to answer

var a = my_async_function("some inputs");

var b = a + ....



How can I use such functions ?

My solution :
I put rest of the code in a function and I ask my_async_function to fire it
after results are ready ! some thing like this:

var a = my_async_function("some inputs", function(a){ b=a+... } );


Any better idea ?

none, except you remind me of the onreadystatechange in Ajax.

in the end of the function make a var ready = true, then in your main 
function you can have while(ready) wait_some_more;

That won't work, as it will only wait if the function is ready. :P

Usually when you have async calls, you want to use callbacks
You pretty much nailed it
